  Look for Davids Millpond in Marlboro County, South Carolina. It sits at 121 feet above sea level. At about 45 acres, a day is enough to walk the shoreline properly.

• Where to Fish on Davids Millpond

  Depth here is unknown, so count the lead down before committing. Points where the flooded channel swings in are the reliable ones. The old creek line under the surface is the feature worth finding. Across Marlboro County, recorded fish include sawcheek darter, redfin pickerel, bluegill, redbreast sunfish and dollar sunfish. It is the county picture; the agency list is water-specific. Fish Davids Millpond where the bottom changes rather than where it looks deep.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Long-run averages give July about 80°F and January about 43°F. The hard part of the year is the heat, not the cold. The first and last hours carry the summer; the middle is slow. Autumn steadies things again once the heat lets go. Plan around that when you fish Davids Millpond. Nights draw in quickly late in the season, so plan the walk back.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing on record says whether the bank is open or closed. No made access is recorded, so a short walk in is the likely arrangement. Pike mean a wire trace, no exceptions; big spoons and jerkbaits do the searching. Parking is often the real limit rather than the bank itself. Keep proof of licence with you rather than in the car. Failing this one, try Becker Pond, 1.7 miles away. Signs at Davids Millpond carry more weight than any list.
